You're listening to the Forgotten podcast, bringing voice to the foster care community.

My identity is not rooted in my passion for foster care or my identity is, you know, my description as an adoptive dad or these things.

It's rooted in a community that is bigger than me that I get to be a part of.

Welcome back to the Forgotten podcast where we are bringing voice to the foster care community.

I'm your host, Jamie Cave, and we are now in season one.

This is episode two, part two of my interview with Jason Johnson.

If you miss part one, go check it out right now.

I know you will be encouraged by what Jason shared.

But before we listen to Part 2, let me tell

you again about Jason. Jason is the director of the National Church Mobilization Initiative

with Christian Alliance for Orphans, where he spends the majority of his time, coaching and consulting

with church leadership teams from all around the country on how to start, lead, and grow orphan care

ministries within their church. Jason is the author of All In Orphan Care and the beauty and brokenness

of foster care, and he blogs regularly at jasonjonson.com. He has a deep passion to see the gospel

catalyze a movement of orphan care within the church and around

the world. Jason and his wife Emily are foster and adoptive parents and live in Texas

with their four daughters. All right, I'm going to take you now to my conversation with

Jason Johnson. Just on that, the idea that if we are the only textbook that people are reading about foster care and adoption, what are they learning from us?

You can take that a step further and say, what are they learning from us online through social media?

And just that we're very careful about presenting a very real, accurate picture of foster care and adoption,

but one that's helpful and hopeful and healthy, not one that is always, there's enough negative out there about it.

That's so true.
